Autumn's Description

I started to pursue my passion in early education, and have flourished from the value it has given me. I have the curiosity to follow new and ever-developing research and enjoy applying different techniques in my work with children. I have acquired many useful skills as a Child Development Support Staff in a daycare working one-on-one with children with ASD and behavioral challenges. Some of these sills include using different methods of communication to connect with children, encouraging inclusive social interaction through play with peers, and inspiring independence in children with different abilities and exceptionalities.

I have worked with families as a caregiver to children with ASD providing respite care and community aid support. My role included frequently going on outings with children to encourage participation in community and social activities, and always looking for new activities for children to participate in to help them gain confidence and strengthen independence

In my past position as a Group Monitor for the after-school EXCEL program, I was responsible for organizing and planning fun and engaging learning activities for children. I gained experience and training working in a recreation setting with youth, and valued the commitment of assisting growth and development of children.

As a student of the Special Needs Education Assistant program at MacEwan University, my education in assistive technology, behavior support, and speech and language growth, combined with my hands-on experience in child development, makes me a great candidate as a carer in your home.
